cravnravn Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 courses or practices? Went for an interview for 911, very stressful 4 part test, I totally aced 3 of the 4 parts, the 4th part, the easiest was typing..They required 40 wpm, I came in at 32 wpm..Im better than hunt & peck, but not 100% sure on the key board. That was so depressing considering the other 3 parts were done with head phones and back round noises and trying to figure out what the callers were saying.

vmax Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Tell them you can do 40 WPM if they drop down to a 3rd grade reading level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceEight Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I took a class one, and the method they taught was to cover your keyboard with a fabric or cloth, put your hands under, and start typing. You learn where the keys are infinitely more quickly than just practicing alone. I'd recommend typing from a sample (like a book or something) and not looking at the screen (and its temptation to make corrections) at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
